and one's first poetry collection will be called...

[blp]

Sour Milk

the ventricle down effect

Spit

After the epilogue, the apologies

Once again and again

love you more

darkness falls on the dandelions

table talk props

do everything pass raving even stop saying I only no

reflections in a doorknob

small rooms

furniture for dolls

new perspectives in yearning

oaf cheats death

read only

I was so blue then I thought even the oxygen was ostracising me

Apologies for everyday occasions

barked knuckles

[Pendragon]

I decided long ago my first collection would be entitled Cracked Headstones, because I wrote so much dark poetry then. Even thought about trying to edit a magazine with that title, the only requirement being dark poetry. Now I don't know. Echoes From the Edge, Sonnets From the Dragon, The Hermit Awakened, who knows? I probably will never rise to a book. I haven even sold to a magazine in years, I just quit. It wasn't that I wasn't being sucsessful, by poetry standards, I did very well. I just lost heart.

[blp]

I like it when people just quit

A guitarist said that once to a female drummer after she'd parked her sticks and walked off stage at a gig I was at in Liverpool. Another potential title perhaps.

[Niamh]

Broken Frame is the name i've given my poems collectively.

[AimusSage]

I would have named it "The Nation of the Glorious Turnip" but that name is already taken for something else, so I instead opted to go with "Martian Poetry: Musings from the king"

Now all I need to do is write enough poetry to fill it up. :)

As for out of it unexpected titles; I say bollocks, the Martian King is proud of his poetry, and is not going to mask it with names like 'onion rings from the womb' or 'nature's naked napkins for postulated poetic poo'

I'd rather reserve those titles for an herbal essence tea that soothes my brains when I have a headache.

I was at a program this past Saturday and the speaker, at the end of his talk, said, "I'll stop now". I loved it. I think that could be a good title.

I like that door knob one blp.

Pen, those are great titles for your books, published or not.

I've already named one The Pathetic Years: Poems That Make Me Sick So Why Would You Want To Read Them. A little long I guess. :D

[symphony]

The Almost-Poems.

Symphonied.

[autolycus]

I think a title appropriate for someone calling himself 'Lone Wolf' would be...

Flow Reversed

[Pendragon]

Flow ReversedLone Wolf, eh? Had a friend once, many moons ago who called himself Lone Wolf. At the time I was going by Rawhide Kid, later to be changed to Wildcat by a black guy who saw me in a fight. Ah, the 70's. We thought we could conquer the world while "Takin' It Easy..." Last I heard about my "Lone Wolf" he was in Chi-town.

[AdoreroDio]

I don't know what I'd call my 1st collection of poems...maybe:

There's Always Room for Seconds

[andave_ya]

[Scheherazade]

"Full of Tea and Watermelon"

This was suggested to me as the title of my bio by a friend but why not poetry collection as well?

Yes, nice. Now all you need is the poems to go with it. :brow:

[Scheherazade]

Thought you were volunteering to write the poems according to the titles we came up with! Wasn't it the whole point of this thread?

:D

[blp]

Nope.

[NickAdams]

"Dream Caused by the Flight of a Bee around a Pomegranate. One Second before Awakening."


I would use a phrase from this title, but I don't know which.

[SleepyWitch]

Lame Endings :D

[Scheherazade]

Nope.Still would have liked you to write at least one poem titled "Full of Tea and Watermelon"! :D
Lame EndingsHey, I like that. It sounds like "Lamentings", too!

[SleepyWitch]

How about: "The donkey could have been so happy, if it hadn't been for the tail" ? :)

I wish I would have thought of that.;)

[autolycus]
